RADIO LAW: BBG ACCUSES SYRIA OF JAMMING SATELLITE SIGNALS
(Print version only)
The United States Broadcasting Board of Governors and
several other international broadcasters believe jamming of
their satellite signals last week came from Syria.
According to an announcement from the board, the
interference has disrupted satellite transmissions in Europe
and the Middle East. Specifically, the jamming hit
satellites operated by Eutelsat, a European satellite
operator, and affecting TV and radio programs reaching
millions of households.
The board noted that the jamming started when Eutelsat
announced it would terminate transmission of 19 channels
belonging to Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting. Several
international broadcasters also criticized the jamming,
citing disruption of broadcasts from Russia through Europe,
Central Asia and the Middle East. Here in the United
States, the Broadcasting Board of Governors said signals of
Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and the Middle East
Broadcasting Networks were affected.
According to the Broadcasting Board of Governors, an earlier
round of jamming this month was traced directly to Iran.
